Homebrew Altmer Species Details

Altmer are the light-skinned and tall Elves of the Summerset Isles. The Altmer consider themselves the most civilized culture of Tamriel, a claim which holds some merit. The common tongue of the Third Empire, Tamrielic, is based on their speech and writing. Most of the crafts, arts, laws, military tactics, and sciences used in the Empire are derived from Altmeri tradition. Even the most widely accepted interpretation of the gods and structure of Mundus is based on Altmeri beliefs. Altmer are thought to be the most direct, unaltered descendants of the original Aldmeri elves, and have a devotion to perfecting themselves through all aspects of life. They are among the longest living and most intelligent races of Tamriel, and they often become powerful magic users due to both their magical affinity and the many years they may devote to perfecting their studies.
